Cheap door/wood paint or branded paint better?

Hello, quick question about paint for wooden internal doors.

I want to paint our doors grey or light blue. I’m not sure whether to buy cheap paint like B&Q’s own brand or Wilko even, or if I should go for bigger names like Dulux?

I have quite a few doors so don’t want to end up with yellowed paint that peels off or looks tacky.

Thank you!! X

Avoid the cheap ones! They come up watery, streaky, and you will need 4-5 coats to make it look decent. Dulux all the way

Little Greene paint is very good

Thank you both! I’m thinking Dulux GooseDown or something similar? Will also check Little Greene as I’ve not heard of the brand before :)
